Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin

"What? Potter and Weasley?"

Back in the common room, Theodore was telling Pansy and Daphne what happened before. And as expected Pansy wasn't too pleased with it.

"Well, as long as they do good we have nothing to complain about." Theodore said, "And besides I need to keep an eye on Potter since he's been the one that I suspect the most."

"You're talking about the Basilisk?" Daphne asked sighing, "Who knew this was going to be such a pain in the ass. I just wish it ends quickly."

"Are you sure it has something to do with Potter?"

"He's connected with it one way or the other so keeping a close eye on him wouldn't be a waste of time in the least." Theodore said shrugging his shoulders, "So are you two fine with it?"

"It's whatever, I am sure Draco wouldn't mind either."

"I, Theodore Nott vow to act fair in this duel and will only use defensive magic unless the opponent uses a lethal spell against me and I am forced to fight back."

Theodore saying his vows bought his wand down as he stared at Harry and Ron. The surrounding members of the club who were all Slytherin second years didn't look too happy about it but they couldn't really go against something Draco had decided beforehand as they now only wished for Potter and Weasley to fail. "So who's going first?"

"I am," Harry said as he walked forward nodding back at Ron and Hermione.

"You know the rules, Potter," Theodore said as both of them walked towards each other. Then proceeded to bow and then walk back and start the duel.

Harry threw one spell after another, while Theodore just used a shielding charm blocking most of the spells thrown at him. Though he hated to admit it, Potter did have a way with spells as he used even the basic spells to their full capacity though he was a bit clumsy with its accuracy. Theodore was sure if Harry was raised in a wizarding household, his powers would probably be good enough to match his own or even surpass him.

After several spells, Harry was starting to get tired and so was Theodore who had to cast the charm again and again.

"And stop!" Theodore said as he bought his wand down, "Welcome to the club, Mr.Potter."

Harry though tired couldn't help but feel happy as this was the first time he had done something on his own. He looked back at Hermione and Ron who were cheering for him, as he waved back at them happily. More so he was quite happy about his progress than last time.

"The rules of the clubs are simple," Theodore said, "The things you have learned here wouldn't be shared with other people outside of the club. Second, You aren't allowed to disclose information you've accidentally learned to the outside without the consent of the other party. Third, no fightings among the members unless it's a challenge to a proper and serious duel."

"There are still many rules to the club but these three are the most serious ones. Right now as you know, we have our club activities during the Defense against the Dark arts class but in the coming future when we have a proper teacher the club activities would shift after school."

Harry nodded listening carefully to all the rules clearly, "What if we wanted to leave the club in the future?" he asked,

"That's simple." Theodore said providing Harry with a long scroll of paper, "When you join the club you'll sign this contract that will bind you to some rules and if you ever decide to leave, most of the secrets and things you've learned in the club would be obliviated from your memory when you choose to leave."

"But that's..."

"That's to protect our privacy and trust, Hermione," Theodore said, "It might seem too much but we can't trust everyone to keep their mouth shuts in the future, and if it's any consolation every one of us have signed it. It's your call Potter, no one is forcing you."

Harry looked back at Hermione and Ron thinking for a while, he thought about all the things that happened just this year, and last year included. With Voldemort alive, he had to take a stand for it so he looked back up determined.

"I am ready to sign the contract."

"Congratulations." Theodore said passing the contract and a small knife to Harry, "A drop of blood there and you're done."

Harry with a bit of hesitation made a small cut on his index finger as he dropped the blood on the bottom of the paper which seemed to absorb it. Soon the contract burned away as all he felt something like a bit of static course through him.

"Please step to the side now." Theodore said as he looked at Ron, "We still have a new applicant, don't we?"

Harry nodded as he went back, patting Ron he mouthed 'good luck' to him.

"Let's see how fair you and this club of yours is," Ron said as both of them did the ceremony and started with the duel.

Theodore quickly noticed the way Ron used his spells was quite unusual for someone using such high-level spells. Some of them were dark and some of them plain offensive spells. Theodore blocked one spell after another but every other spell he blocked his frown couldn't help but be deeper.

Ron was the exact opposite of Harry, he used different high-levels spells but none of them were powerful enough to cause actual damage.

The spells were getting darker and darker after each turn but when Theodore noticed what spell he was going to use next, he quickly used 'Expelliarmus' going for the offense for the first time.

"Hey! I thought you were playing fair in this game." Ron snorted as he picked his wand up.

"I did until someone decided to throw a dark spell at me." Theodore said clenching his eyebrows, "Who did you learn it from?"

"None of your concerns." Ron said, "It was a fair dueling spell so you can't blame me for it."

'But not someone your level could use it.' Theodore said to himself as he finally realized the pattern. Previously when the diary was in Lockhart's hand he suddenly got a bit powerful and now Ron. Realizing the connections Theodore couldn't help but smile.

"Is everything okay?" Hermione asked

"It sure is." Theodore said as he passed the contract back to Ron, "Congratulation, Mr. Weasley for entering the club."

Ron snorted looking like a proud peacock as he dropped his blood on the contract and went back towards Harry.

"Is there something wrong with the spells he chose?" Hermione asked, "Though I am still surprised that he didn't use the charms I taught him at all."

"Well, who knows maybe we've all been underestimating Mr. Weasley all this time." Theodore said, "Though it was a dark spell, it wasn't one of the illegal ones and with his powers, I doubt he could do much even if he hits me with the killing curse itself."

"So when is my test going to happen?" Hermione asked shaking her head.

"You are already the part of the club so you just need to sign the contract and we're done." Theodore said, "Besides, you were the one who created it so there isn't any point for you take it."

Hermione finally realized the point as she awkwardly laughed and signed the contract finally becoming part of the club.
